My fever is down tonight, and I feel 90% better. It must be all the ~ma. I'll check in tomorrow after my follow up appointment.
Tons of hugs and ~ma to all Bitches. Love you guys.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Aimee, I can't believe you are looking for another apartment! Didn't you move there just a year or so ago? You have my symapthy, poor you. I hate moving so much. Hell, I hate moving so much I bought a house just so I wouldn't have to deal with moving out of it.
Burrell, nope. We've been here for almost 3 years. It's only a one bedroom and we;ve put off moving for as long as we can. Em really needs her own space and, well, I don't want her to be an only child. wink wink nudge nudge
I hate moving, too. And especially from here since her godparents live right above us. But, it's time. We've grown out of this place. As much as I love it here.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
We've been here for almost 3 years.
Really? I've been in LA forever, because it feels like it was just yesterday.

Yep. We moved here in October of 2003. So, not quite almost 3 years, but pretty close.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

3 years? Yipes. How did that happen so fast? (Oh wait, how old is Frances again? Nevermind)

The time going by is crazy.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Good news about the task of learning those signs for work: TPTB have given us another two months to master the signs, and the pass rate for the test will be quite generous. In fact, I already have learned almost enough of the signs to pass - which is to say, I've glommed onto 20ish totally new signs, learned the correct form for 25 or so that I had already picked up, and learned the pattern for some that are systematic (i.e. the days of the week). There are at least 10 more that I am familiar with, and on a good brain day would do quite well at remembering.
I am still frustrated that the illustrations appear to be a different dialect than ASL, or are perhaps out of date. Several of the signs that I looked up online in a video-clip dictionary are very different from the diagrams. And in fact, the lady in question often signs to match not the book but what I have found online. I just hope bosslady will give me credit for it when I have to argue the book is wrong.
It saddens me that my original post may have caused readers to think I have a bad attitude about this. The truth is that I have been a big supporter of the idea of increasing staff proficiency with signing so we could understand this lady better. The problem is how it has been put into practice.
